I find it happens often when caps cup upwards. As they grow along with other corals surrounding it lack of flow becomes a problem. One of my green caps just did the same thing.

This one is really off on it's own, not impeded at all by other corals. I suppose something slight that I can't notice perhaps. It also hasn't really cupped much, more a flat outward growth. Oh well, I have a backup piece in the frag tank and hopefully will have a large leaf left by tonight.

Ya. It's a nice cap, purple polyps, but it's more of a landscaping issue if I have to cut it all out Kind of wrecks the symmetry of the area. We'll see, maybe it will stop. haha

Brad sorry to hear but here is my Theory,

month ago you re-scaped your tank taking out the center pillar and fragging and selling some colonies, maybe your green cap got so depressed you killed and gave away his friends he committed suicide?

Ya, I think I have pics somewhere. I'll look around, hopefully there's enough to save a large piece. If not, I have a smaller frag in frag tank.

This is all I have. They look more blue in the pic, but are closer to purple

more than a landscaping issue there... you said green cap making me think it was your run-of-the-mill one. that thing's gorgeous even under SOLs.
